Autopsy 2024 Rd 7 Blues Go Down To Classy Cats In A Belter

[Ash05]

Scoreboard DID NOT FLATTER US

It certainly did. We got junk time goals when the game was done. Made it look closer than it was

 

[GoBlues!]

On the positives:

Pitto did extremely well in the ruck and around the ground.

Kennedy’s goal in the last was a beauty - not sure why people want to drop him we don’t have a lot of goal kicking mids.

Cripps continuing his great form from last week.

Blakey Acres 2 goals in a minute!

Elijah seems to be getting better and better each week, got some smarts and knows how to kick a goal.

I could go on and on, and I will…Walshy 3 games back hasn’t missed a beat.

Bad kicking, bad football etc.

is a freaking hero though. Yeah he burns some balls, but he makes up for it. Mind you he went at 75%DE.

I have a funny feeling that the people thinking Geelong playing in the wet last week meant we should've overrun them this week would probably not give Carlton any quarter if the Blues had played a wet slog the week before and themselves got overrun

 

[Jimthegreat]

We couldn't have played worse, especially defensively, kicked poorly, and slaughtered by officialdom and still just lost by 13.

That miss by Durdin was a killer. We had plenty of others kicking terribly but that was at such a vital moment. Just crushed momentum, our head dropped and they got 4 quick ones. He kicks that then anything happens. Part of 0.3 kicked in the first 2 minutes of the last qtr.

 

[Opium]

Elite afl players, kicking a football straight. Sounds simple enough.....

Durdin and Weitering missed two sitters which cost us the game. Durdin especially it was a two goal swing.

 

[Accidental genius]

66 I 50’s us, 45 them

Efficiency I50 62% them, 45% us

There’s the diff folks

This

In a nutshell - we just need to keep working on and improving our f50 entries. Lately we've made some good progress i reckon - just need to keep going - lower the eyes and carve up their defence

Huge!!

 

[Bringbackeddie]

Loosing sucks, but how good is it that we go into every game now thinking we can win?

All in not as bad as the loss two weeks ago - that one was a shocker.

 

[Jacks Seething Rage]

McKay and curnow are good players but sadly never gonna win us a flag

Huh?

 

[JoeyPBLUES]

Meh. GF day.. our full team in. I think we do them.
The only team that beat us today was us with our kicking. Geelong are a great club well run and coached but we kick straight and we beat them missing only 1 starting 22 player. Boys can hold their heads up and get back to work next week. Well done fellas

 

[Gethelred]

While missing shots hurt us, them kicking 119 from 45 entries hurt us far, far more. We need to improve our ability to stop their scoring, even if that means giving away free kicks rather than letting them mark unopposed.

An angry opponent whose ears are ringing is more likely to miss than one that's just marked unopposed.

Bad. Kicking. Is. Bad. Footy.

 

[Juice030103]

If that’s the best they’ve got we have em covered when we get the troops back

 

[T2B_]

Durdin and Weitering missed two sitters which cost us the game. Durdin especially it was a two goal swing.

I can forgive the full back for missing, but Durds was inexcusable

 

[heatleystandend]

#2 for them goes alright. Where can we get one of them?

Have been told for years that Silvangi won that trade. Probably his biggest error. Getting rid of Tuohy was bad enough, giving him away for nothing was disgraceful.

 

[Opium]

We now have to play Collingwood

We couldn't have played worse, especially defensively, kicked poorly, and slaughtered by officialdom and still just lost by 13.

That miss by Durdin was a killer. We had plenty of others kicking terribly but that was at such a vital moment. Just crushed momentum, our head dropped and they got 4 quick ones. He kicks that then anything happens. Part of 0.3 kicked in the first 2 minutes of the last qtr.

Our midfield allowed them to continually get goal side. They ran in waves. Flood then slingshot forward.

 

[King Cripps]

It certainly did. We got junk time goals when the game was done. Made it look closer than it was

66 inside 50s to 45 and the scoreboard did flatter us did it ?

 

[Gez1969]

Ain’t that the ****en truth!

 

[ITCHY EYEBALLS]

corey durdin...... what a *en absolute let down

Agree 100%.
Why is he cutting in front of our big guys trying to take contested mark?
You’re a small fwd, play the role….you’re not Jamie Elliot

 

[T2B_]

McKay and curnow are good players but sadly never gonna win us a flag

Can you imagine if those two played for Geelong? They'd never lose a game.

 

[Juice030103]

It certainly did. We got junk time goals when the game was done. Made it look closer than it was

It was 9 points 18 mins to go and durdin misses a shot 25 out?


If you are just gonna be negative about the result then support another club

There's no way Geelong thought the game was done after Acres' first goal, let alone his second
